A bright sun and North West wind killed of any hopes of the big weights seen in the previous rounds, but the average catch was still a very respectical 5lb with only two anglers failing to catch. The lower weights produced a much closer competition with four anglers fighting for top spot right up to the final whistle.
The three way battle for second was won by the League winner Daniel Elliott who finished with 10lb 13oz, catching two big carp on the floating pole, feeding heavily with "Wills Pellets" and using soft pellets on the hook from fancied peg 13 on the carp park bank. Just seven ounces behind in third place was Harley Moss a new starter this season, Harley landed a big Carp and the biggest bream of the season at two pounds four ounces from peg 28, fishing a simple waggler set up and feeding hemp seed with maggots on the hook to pip Karl Shiplee by just over one pound.
